Navratil Hosts 2007 MHD Control Workshop

Prof. Gerald Navratil hosted the 2007 MHD Control Workshop on "Improved MHD Control Configurations" at Columbia University from November 18-20, following the 2007 APS-DPP Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL. It was the 12th in the series and is organized jointly by Columbia University, General Atomics, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and the University of Wisconsin.

Theme:
With the ITER Design Review well underway, there is increased interest in using our experiment and theory advances in MHD mode control to improve control approaches, configurations, and combined control systems. This includes the active control of both internal and external ideal/resistive MHD modes using plasma rotation, rotation shear, rf waves, feedback control, resonant magnetic fields, or profile control. The format of this workshop will be similar to previous workshops in this series that include invited (30 to 40 minute) and contributed (15 to 20 minute) papers.
